Food allergies are one of the most common problems faced by dog and cat owners. Itching, skin inflammation, digestive disorders—all of these can be signs of a food reaction. The good news: the right food can solve this problem.

How to recognize food allergies?

Common symptoms: constant itching and skin redness, rashes or scabs, frequent ear scratching and inflammation, hair loss or dryness, digestive problems—vomiting or diarrhea, licking between the toes.

If you notice these signs, first consult a veterinarian and consider changing the food.

Why do food allergies occur?

Allergies are most often caused by proteins—beef, chicken, dairy products, eggs. The problem is that many common feeds use the same proteins, so the pet is constantly in contact with allergens. Artificial additives, colors, and preservatives can also cause a reaction.

How does Royal Canin address allergy problems?

Royal Canin hypoallergenic foods use protein hydrolysis—proteins are broken down into such tiny fragments that the immune system simply does not recognize them as allergens. This is a scientific solution, not just a marketing term: according to clinical trial data, about 90% of dogs with food allergies showed a reduction in symptoms within 3–4 weeks.

Additionally, ROYAL CANIN Digestion Chew — is a supplement specifically designed to support digestive health. For sensitive pets whose digestion requires additional help, these chewable supplements can be a great aid alongside their main food.

How to properly switch to hypoallergenic food?

Veterinarians recommend an elimination diet: gradually change the old food to new over 7–10 days, then feed only hypoallergenic food for 8–12 weeks—no treats, no human food. The first improvements are visible after 2–3 weeks, but the full effect is seen after 8–12 weeks. Be patient.

Important: even one treat during an elimination diet can ruin everything.
